%Rating_Chg: The percent change during the last four weeks in the average broker recommendation.
Ind_Rank: The industry rank of the selected stock. Industries are ranked based on the average broker recommendation of each company belonging to this industry. A low number means that brokers and analysts expect that the industry outperform the market.
Rank_in_Ind: The rank of the selected stock within its industry based on the stock average recommendation compared to the average brokerage recommendations of each stock in the industry.
Chg_Avg_Rec: This is the difference between the current average broker recommendation minus the last week average recommendations.

3 = Hold
4 = Sell
5 = Strong Sell
You can calculate the "Rank in Industry" and "Industry Rank" using the composite function.
Here is how to compute the "Rank in Industry":
Comp(GetData("broker_rating", "avg_broker_rec", LastData), "rank", industry())
"GetData" retrieves the average broker recommendation from the database, while "Comp" calculates stocks' rank based on this data and by grouping stocks using the value returned by the "industry()" function.
